Catholic Theology and Church Teachings Practice Test

Medjugorje is associated with Our Lady of Medjugorje. In 1981, six local youths in the village of Medjugorje reported ongoing appearances of Mary, delivering messages about prayer, conversion, and peace. People commonly refer to this figure as Our Lady of Medjugorje (also called Our Lady Queen of Peace in some contexts). By contrast, Lourdes is linked to Our Lady of Lourdes (appearing to St. Bernadette), Fatima to Our Lady of Fatima (appearing to the three shepherd children), and Guadalupe to Our Lady of Guadalupe (appearing to St. Juan Diego). The Medjugorje connection specifically names Mary as Our Lady of Medjugorje, even as the Church continues to evaluate the events for formal confirmation.
